Beauty contestant busted for fraud after YouTube postings

A 22-year-old Riverside woman was arrested for workers' compensation fraud after YouTube videos surfaced showing her participating in beauty pageants at the same time she claimed to be unable to work due to a foot injury.

and what about the doctor who gave her the clearance? Are they investigating him for all the times he has done this in the past? If she had been black and on welfare, they would not have anything, of course.

another 'taker' abusing the system the encourages lazy people to steal taxpayer money while they do not pay taxes at all ......when are we finally going to wake up and quit wasting taxpayer funds at every turn?

Beauty not really. Brains....none. The states need to look harder...there's plenty more like this jerk who claim they "can't work", when in fact, they can. ******* off the taxpayers. Nice work if you can get it.

Fraud is fraud and it doesn't matter who pays for it. And yes, I realize the employer pays for it. And when you have fraudulant claims being paid it raises the employer's premiums. And who do you think ultimately pays for that? We all do in the form of higher prices. Also, the mentality of work comp cheating isn't a lot different than the mentality for welfare fraud. The solution is the same for both. Hire more people to monitor and supervise those who are getting these payouts to ensure they are entitled to them and that they are following the mandates to continue to receive the payouts and if they are not, kick them off the dole. If they are committing fraud, prosecute them. With the money that could be saved, you could pay for new employees to do the monitoring and make more funding available for those who truly need it and are willing to play by the rules to get it.
